Good day everyone! Today is our first year blogaversary. We have had a great year and met many wonderful friends.

On a serious note, we were sad to hear about our friend Skeeter,this morning. He has taken a turn for the worse and may to soon going to the Bridge. We will be purring for him and the rest of his family today. You should drop by and leave some words of comfort for those fine felines and their bean, The Big Thing.

We love being part of this cat blogging community where we share our lives and experiences with cats and beans all over the world. We share the good times, the funny times, the scary times and the sad. It is nice to know others care and that we can help ease the pain a tiny bit with our purrs and comforting words.

As a Great Big Thank You to all of our friends we have decided to have a giveaway.

The first item we are giving away is this cat mat. The wee ones wanted to call it a fat cat mat, I liked fray cat ray rug ( as in sunrays) but for now we are going with cat mat. A friend of the PM's makes Rag Quilts and the PM liked them and thought she could do a mini version. This is the first one she has made. It measures about 26' by 26' and is made out of cotton flannel with cotton batting in between. On this side the edges are raw and frayed.

On the other side, it looks more like a regular quilt with just the ruffled edges.

I have to tell you, I worked very hard on this mat. I helped with the cutting...

and the sewing. I wanted it to be real nice.

Sometimes I had to crack the whip.

"Keep it movin' PM!!! You can take a break when it is all cut out!!!"

Now that it is all ready; I give a little roll...

I give a little wash...

OK! It's ready to go! Apricot floof as an added touch.

Now we have a second item to give away but I am afraid they are not finished yet. I know, I need to hire new help. I am really at my wits end. We have a Bag O' Shrews for you too. They are now just a Bag O' Flat Shrews but the PM has promised me they will be done by the winners announcement on Friday. They better or someone will be getting a nice Stocking O' Turd for Christmas. The PM made some for our Pro Mouser contest that Skeeter, LC and Ayla won. For a preview to what they will look like you can see the post they had when they got their prize. The ones we are giving away are a different colour and there are three in this bag.

I also have another bone to pick with the PM. I want you to go over to our first post ever and see what is missing. You can check it out here . I'll wait.

Ok, did you see the problem???

Yep, where was the handsome mancat photo of yours truly? Two snow pics and none of me. I am talkin' but no one can see me. To make up for that grand oversight, I will leave you with this awe inspiring photo of me in repose.

There's that's much better.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you want your name put in for the draws, just let us know when you leave a comment. The wee ones will be drawing names Thursday night and we will be announcing the winners on Friday!

Hi Goldie. Happy Blogaversary to you and the gang! our Meowmy loves the pictures of you helping to make the wonderful cat mat 'cause we help her in the same way. And we see that you P.M. like ours is very very careful to leave the rotary cutter closed so it doesn't nick any kitty toesies. We love the shroos too, they have wonderful long noses to grab and chomp on. Please enter us in your drawing!your friends,Louie, Sylvie, Fuzzy, and GingyP.S. Meowmy says thank you--she went to Skeeter's site and left a few words for the Big Thing. She is very sad because she knows how sad he must be feeling.

Happy Blogoversary! One year, that's quite an achievement. As all the others you got us drooling over the truly lovely Cat Mat, but we read the comment of The Poupounette.

Welcome!

We are two fine felines, living together yet worlds apart on the cat spectrum. Each saved from life in a shelter to be brought into a cozy house in the woods. I am Goldie, the young mancat, brave, fluffy and apricot. I am Banshee, young calico, formally feral, arrived in November. We live with four of them, The Music Man, The Peacemaker and the wee ones. These are our stories.
